It is a frustrating period when I cannot see any progress in my language learning journey. Here are several ideas about overcomig a language plateau. First, try different methods. If I feel stuck, it might be time to switch from reading texts to watching dramas, or writing a diary to joining a language exchange event. These changes keep learning process fun. Second, set a target. I sometimes take English tests. After booking the date, I start feeling pressured to get a good result. I plan a schedule and set aside time for study. A short term goal motivates me. Third, continue anyway. If it is already a part of daily routine, learning does not require that effort. It is a nice feeling to look back on how far I have come occasionally. Although those practices are easier said than done, I am commited to taking my English to the next level.

Many people would think that teenagers should be given the chance to make amends and have second lives. Because they think when a teenager committed a crime, the teenager should not be the only one to blame, but also his parent and sometimes the society. Well it is understandable. But if you put yourself in victim's shoes, it is never too easy to say forgive, especially when it comes to some vicious crimes. The bad result would not change whatever it is caused by a teenager or an adult. In terms of justice, I support teenagers that commit major crimes should take the same responsibility as an adult. Because it is talking about major crimes, we have no rights to forgive a murder or rapist on behalf of the victims. Showing mercy to criminals can never come first than victims.

I especially admire somebody who can keep himself disciplined. I can see so many miracle things they can do that I wish I could. In the past, I tried and tried but failed. Now, an idea came up to me: I will divide things I want to do into small pieces. For instance, if I want to keep myself from scrolling the Facebook or Youtube unpurposely for a year, I will challenge myself not to do it in only one day first. If one day is still a struggle for me, I will make it 5 minutes of scrolling a day then gradually increase the challenging time to one week, then two week. Let see if I can do it! I hope so.

The first thing is to find the reasons that why they are underachieved. The reasons can be external: Do they have bad family relationships that influence the students? Is there any school bullying that always distracts the students? These reasons are often complicated and take time to solve. Only by helping them solve their problems can they start to study whole-heartedly. If the reason is internal: like they just don't want to study, or they just can't understand the lessons. I think this situation is not a big deal, they just need more time to figure out their interests.

Unfortunately, no. Well, quite not. That's because most of apartments in my country, including mine, are not designed to have multiple trash bins and haven't much space for that. Also, often there are no separate trash bins outside to put waste in. However, sometimes there are such places nearby, so when I have considerable amounts of plastic, cardboard or glass, I go to such places and put waste into separate bins. It's the best I can do so far. My country needs to evolve a little more for everyone to be able to sort waste.

Untitled - XXV One thing that cats do I find hilarious about is when they start to "knead" other cat that its living at the same place as them. But, when there is any other cat around them, they do it to a duvet, or to something soft and bulky a person left on a bed, for example.

Hello everybody 🤠 I'm workin on using gerunds and infinitives together. Using verbs like: To enjoy, dislike, admit, avoid, risk and so on. I enjoy playing music and dislike it when people talk negatively about others who are not present. I admit that doing sports don't hold my attention. I try to avoid spending time watching TV because I strongly believe that nowadays, many TV programs contain violence and sensuality, which I don't think contributes positively. Our eyes are like cameras; after seeing a violent or sensual scene, we can recall those images, and they become a part of us in some way. I'm not making a suggestion because everyone takes their own risks. If we want, we can risk watching or not that's our choice!
